Register for the TOEFL® PBT Test

There are two formats for the TOEFL® test — the TOEFL iBT® test, administered via the Internet, and the TOEFL® PBT test, administered in a paper-based format. To find out which format is available in your area, check your location before you register.

The TOEFL PBT test is being phased out and is currently offered only in locations where testing via the Internet is not available.

96 percent of TOEFL test takers worldwide take the TOEFL iBT test and access continues to expand. Also, the TOEFL iBT test is desired by universities because it measures all four communication skills — reading, writing, listening and speaking. For these and other reasons, we feel it is time to phase out paper-based testing.

ETS remains committed to providing access for anyone who wants to take the TOEFL test. Please be assured that ETS is making every effort to ensure that individuals living in areas where testing via the Internet is not available will be able to test.
